Escape From the Library

【Deep Starry Sky-09】

At exactly 4 o'clock in the morning, Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce walked into the command room and said, "Brother Zhuo, Xiaonian, go and rest. I will change shifts with Ping Ce."

Zhuo Feng smiled and said: "Okay, then I will leave it to you."

Zhuo Feng and Zhang Xiaonian turned and left the command room. At this moment, a large number of debris-like objects slid past the porthole. Zhang Xiaonian stopped, pointed out curiously, and asked, "Is it a meteor shower? Follow me It’s not the same as what I’ve seen through astronomical telescopes before.”

Zhuo Feng said: "It's definitely different. We used to watch meteor showers on the earth. Meteors slide through the atmosphere, and friction with the atmosphere will produce light trails."

As Zhuo Feng said, he turned his head and looked out the porthole——

In the distance visible to the naked eye, there are countless large and small fragments flying in one direction as if attracted by some force, with a speed as fast as lightning.At first glance, it looks like a meteor shower, but Zhuo Feng's face suddenly changed after observing carefully for a while: "This is not a meteor shower, it is more likely to be a sandstorm!"

Yue Xingwen immediately became alert: "Cosmic sandstorm?"

Zhuo Feng nodded: "Well, cosmic sandstorms are composed of such rocky particles. These particles are also called 'micrometeoroids' or 'micrometeorites'. They are characterized by their small size but extremely fast speed."

Zhuo Feng took a deep breath and looked at Yue Xingwen, and said decisively: "Wake up everyone! We have to avoid these meteors as soon as possible, otherwise, the spaceship is likely to be crashed!"

According to the law of action force and reaction force, even a small bird may crash a flying plane. Although their Thorn spaceship is made of metal and has a large and hard hull, once it encounters a group of micrometeorites, the hull will be damaged. As long as a hole is knocked out, the air pressure is out of balance and oxygen is lacking, human beings cannot survive in the space environment at all.

Thinking of this, Yue Xingwen immediately turned on Xiaotu's voice function, and said, "Xiaotu, go wake everyone up!"

After the evolution of Xiaotu, it can recognize the voices of all teammates and complete the corresponding instructions.Hearing Yue Xingwen's words, Xiaotu turned around and walked towards the dormitory area, and sang to get up.

As soon as the harsh singing sounded, everyone who was sleeping was awakened at the same time.The doors of several dormitories were quickly opened, and the remaining 8 people dressed up and came to the command room as quickly as possible.

Ke Shaobin helped Fu Fu's crooked eyes, and asked nervously, "What happened?"

Zhuo Feng said: "A cosmic sandstorm was discovered ahead." Liu Zhaoqing complained with a headache: "Yesterday was a cosmic black hole, and today is another cosmic sandstorm. This interstellar travel is really a fucking VIP package!"

Zhuo Feng said: "Sandstorms are not like black holes. They don't have a gravitational field and won't attract us to approach them. But sandstorms are usually composed of countless micrometeoroids, which are large in number, fast in speed, and wide in scope. We can't follow those fragments." Hit head-on."

Jiang Pingce looked at more and more debris outside the porthole not far away, frowned, and said: "The key at present is that we don't know the specific scope and trajectory of the sandstorm. They, on the contrary, are looking for a dead end."

Zhuo Feng thought for a moment, and said: "Open the protective cover, adapt to the situation! Stand still and wait for the meteorites to hit, it is no different from waiting for death. Although it is dangerous to hide while walking, there is still a chance of life!"

Yue Xingwen looked back at Qin Lu, and asked calmly, "Can Qin Lu's plate swap skill be used?"

Qin Lu shook her head: "The replacement of the plate requires the replacement of the surface plate. We are in space now, so we can't use it."

Jiang Pingce said: "My parabola formula can't be used either. Because the fundamental principle of the parabola depends on the gravity of the earth, and there is no gravity in the universe."

Sure enough, Jiang Pingce knew what he was worried about when he heard Yue Xingwen's question.In the past, when it was necessary to run, Qin Lu could instantly move hundreds of meters away by changing the position of the plate, and Jiang Pingce could also use a formula to make his teammates fly into the sky.But in today's space environment, many skills are limited.

Yue Xingwen thought about it carefully, and said: "My 'Golden Cicada Escape Shell' is not restricted by the environment. Everyone gathers around me. If the situation is not right later, I will immediately take everyone to the location of the escape pod."

Ke Shaobin listened to everyone's conversation and stared out of the window nervously.

From a distance, those rock-like fragments look like heavy snow falling in winter.It seems that this sandstorm is more troublesome than the previous wormhole.Although the wormhole has been attracting them to approach, everyone knows its exact location, and a few academics can modify the route by calculating the distance and displacement formula and avoid it in a wide circle.

The scary thing about a sandstorm is that you don't know how big it is.Therefore, you must be fully prepared, and when you really can't hide, you can only use the escape pod to escape.

Ke Shaobin took a deep breath and asked, "After the escape boat pops out, do you want to find out where it landed in advance? We can't just drift around in the universe, right?"

Yue Xingwen walked to the podium, and quickly pressed the voice command on the control screen: "Search nearby planets."

Thorn's voice intelligence quickly reported the result: "Four planets were discovered."

Sure enough, the names of planets such as α-176 and α-171 are marked on the galaxy map.Yue Xingwen said: "Call out the detailed information about these planets."

Many pictures and text descriptions appeared on the screen.

Ke Shaobin quickly walked over and looked down. The more he looked, the more shocked he became: "This harsh environment... is not suitable for human survival at all! Even if we land on a nearby planet, it will be difficult to survive?!"

Jiang Pingce said calmly: "If there is a planet suitable for human survival, human beings would have migrated en masse long ago, and they wouldn't be hiding in dark underground bases."

Xin Yan said: "It doesn't matter if the environment is bad. After I get the periodic table of elements, I can make water and oxygen."

Lin Manluo agreed: "I can also use technology to purify the air and plant green trees and lawns. As for the high temperature... We have a small year, and at worst we can dig an underground base to hide in."

Ke Shaobin thought about it, and immediately looked back at Yue Xingwen: "Then try to land on the nearest planet α176! Anyway, this course only requires us to live for 30 days, and it does not require us to reach what Major General Karen said. Nebula β71. It’s just that if you can’t complete the task assigned by the NPC, the final score will definitely not be very high.”

Yue Xingwen said decisively: "First avoid the sandstorm. If you can avoid it, continue to the mission destination. If you can't avoid it, land nearby and find a way later!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Jiang Pingce quickly calculated the distance and angle between the α176 planet and the spacecraft, and determined the direction in which the escape capsule would pop out. Immediately afterwards, Zhuo Feng and Jiang Pingce cooperated again to open the protective cover of the spacecraft.

Jiang Pingce reminded in a low voice: "Everyone sit in the safety chairs and hold them steady."

After all, he and Zhuo Feng controlled the spaceship to rise upwards suddenly.

Almost the next second the spaceship had just lifted, countless rock-like fragments rubbed against the bottom of the spaceship, swooping down at lightning speed!

There was a loud "boom" from the protective cover, and a red alarm popped up on the screen: "The protective cover is damaged by 5%, and there are cracks on the bottom of the ship, please pay attention!"

Once the protective cover is completely damaged and the porthole is broken, the pressure in the cabin will instantly lose control, and they will immediately be in an oxygen-free vacuum environment.

Ke Shaobin hastily turned on Xiaotu's monitoring system. Xiaotu's monitoring is much more accurate than what human eyes can see. On Xiaotu's screen, there are dense fragments like bee swarms suddenly attacking from the upper left.

Jiang Pingce immediately controlled the spaceship to move to the right, while Zhuo Feng controlled the spaceship to dodge downward.With the cooperation of the two, the spaceship avoided this wave of sandstorm without any risk, but a spider web-like crack appeared in the upper left corner of the shield.

Yue Xingwen stared at the screen nervously, and the other students also looked serious.

This sandstorm seemed to be formed after a certain planet disintegrated, and the countless fragments were like a blizzard in the cold winter months.As they shuttled between the sandstorms, Yue Xingwen could constantly hear the sound of those rock-like micro-meteoroids passing by the shield of the spacecraft!

Everyone held their breath, staring at the damaged data on the screen.

Jiang Pingce and Zhuo Feng reacted very quickly, and they continuously controlled the spaceship to avoid several waves of sandstorms. Sitting in the spaceship was more exciting than riding a spinning roller coaster. Their bodies swayed left and right, and they almost vomited out the overnight meal.

However, there are too many of these fragments, with a wide range and fast speed, they seem to be walking in a hail of bullets, there is always an inevitable time!

After 10 minutes, the shield damage data has reached 80%!

The transparent protective cover is densely packed with cracks like spider webs. As long as the micrometeorite hits the crack again, the protective cover may be completely broken.

As soon as Yue Xingwen thought of this, he heard a loud "boom" in his ear!

The sound was coming from directly overhead.Apparently, when Jiang Pingce and Zhuo Feng steered the spaceship to hide sideways, fragments came out of nowhere and hit the crack on the top of the spaceship.

Like the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Like an ice surface full of cracks, finally unable to bear the weight——

The protective cover instantly shattered into powder in front of everyone at an extremely fast speed!

A dazzling red alarm popped up on the screen: "Warning, warning! The shield of the spaceship has been damaged!" "Warning, the pressure system of the spaceship is faulty!" "Warning, the balance system of the spaceship is faulty!"

Numerous red exclamation marks flickered on the screen, Yue Xingwen did not hesitate: "Run!"

The "Modern Idiom Dictionary" in his right hand had been prepared long ago, and as soon as he released the "Golden Cicada Escape Shell" skill, 12 people instantly appeared in the escape cabin at the stern.

Before the Thorn took off, everyone found out the location of the escape cabin, and each of them found a cabin.At that time, Yue Xingwen knew that the escape pod would definitely be used for this trip.It's just that they didn't expect that they would abandon the ship and flee for their lives only the next day!

Yue Xingwen asked the students to go first, and he and Jiang Pingce were last.

Before getting into the escape cabin, Yue Xingwen turned his head to look at Jiang Pingce, just in time for Jiang Pingce's eyes.

There is a tank of oxygen in the escape pod, which is only 1.5 meters high. They need to curl up and hide in it, and let the escape pod pop out in the set direction-this is their last chance.

No one knows whether the escape pod can land smoothly.

In case of danger again, the escape capsule deviates from its course in the universe, and it will be like a boat washed up on the sea, unable to find its way back.

In the vast universe, once you lose your way, it will only be a dead end.

Jiang Pingce looked deeply at Yue Xingwen, and said in a low voice, "Take care...I'll see you later."

Yue Xingwen's eyes suddenly felt a little sour. He nodded and said in a trembling voice, "Take care too. Make sure to land safely."

The two looked at each other, turned around and got into the escape cabin at the same time, and quickly closed the hatch.

The next moment, the procedure for ejecting the escape pods was started, and under a strong impact, the 12 escape pods, like arrows flying from the string, instantly escaped from the shackles of the Thorn spaceship and fell into the dark universe...
